Water → 2-Nitrophenethyl bromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.5 ml of 2-(2-nitrophenyl)ethanol and 5.4 ml of PBr3 were stirred and mixed at 0° C. for 30 minutes to carry out reaction, and the resultant reaction mixture was diluted with 30 ml of benzene and the diluted mixture was then poured into 30 ml of water. The separated organic layer was separated, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then treated under reduced pressure to distill off the solvent, thereby obtaining 3 g of the crude product of 2-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl bromide.
